Who can identify everything? Pretty eclectic mix. Not sure when Google took this, but I assume it was fairly recent. Curious about that pointy-nosed C-141.

The C-141 looks like a fighter radar testbed

Those are planes. I’m 100% sure of this.

You went through way more effort to make the joke I made, before I made it. And for that I applauded you.
I just noticed the “plain” that’s halarious.

The modified C-141 is Lockheed’s Advanced Radar Test Bed, which (among other projects) tested the radar for the F-22. Check out this pdf of Lockheed’s pamphlet .

Now I’m interested in what the rest of those planes did...
That’s the prototype YA-7F Strikefighter , which was to be a stretched, supersonic version of the SLUF.
The
F-111
was part of the AFTI program, and was fitted with Boeing-designed Mission Adaptive Wings. The gray stripes on the right wing are presure sensors.
The white C-135 is one of the Speckled Trout aircraft, used as both an executive transport for SecAF and CSAF as well as a test-bed for command and control systems.
The other C-135 is the NC-135A , a testbed for avionics and radar for the B-2 program.
The C-47H (or R4D) was an absolute workhorse for NACA/NASA, shuttling personel, towing the M2-F1,and testing lake beds for the X-15 program.
The C-7 Caribou was (probably) the last one delivered to the Army, and is in the colors of the Golden Knights jump team.
The C-140 JetStar seems to have been a utility transport, its camo scheme notwithstanding.

Scrap, forgot to look for that one... B-1B 84-0049 “ Thunder From The Sky ” tested ALCM and SRAM II missiles. In Jan 2005 it was sent to Boeing’s facility in Long Beach for wing pivot testing.

Got me on both counts. I almost thought the 111 was a MIG-23. That would have been an odd one.

The white one, I’m going to guess, is an
E-6 Mercury
though the engines on the image aren’t the CFM-56, but a generation older, so I could be wrong. There was an E-6 stationed at Travis AFB when I did my reserves duty there in the late 90s. Beautiful aeroplane.

Those C-135s aren’t 707s, but Boeing designated them as the B-717 . The C-135 has a narrower fuselage than the 707.
That happens to be a bit of aviation trivia that I know. The B-707 was the airplane that started it all for me. My brother and I flew on 707s when we were young. They used to stand on the brakes while they spooled up the engines for the takeoff run. I can remember that.

I’m guessing that they put those out there specifically to be photographed by Google. Very cool.
